How to sign “Soon” in ASL

Time

BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Soon” instead

Step by step

  1. Form an F handshape with your dominant hand, thumb and index in a circle.
  2. Bring the F handshape to your chin and touch it lightly.
  3. Tap your chin twice with a light double bounce, keeping the F shape firm.

Practice tip

Two gentle taps at the chin means SOON — one forceful tap with puffed cheeks means EXPERT.
